Cisco CEO and Red Hat CEO appear to contradict each other

Am I the only one totally confused by what appear to be contradictory statements made by the CEOs of Cisco and Red Hat?

Cisco CEO John Chambers
 

Last week during Cisco's Q2'FY15 earnings conference call, Cisco CEO John Chambers bragged:
 

"Our Q2 results reflect continued progress as we transformed Cisco to become the number one IT company."
 

Jim WhitehurstRed HatYet simultaneously last week, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst alarmingly stated the following in Business Insider:

"Like the manufacturers were in the 1970s and 1980s were fighting for their lives, today's IT departments are going to fight for their survival.

"I was on phone with the CIO of a large insurance company a half hour ago. His point was that business people can all go outside of IT to get the tech they need and he needed to develop devops capabilities to compete."
 

Am I the only one totally confused by what appear to be contradictory statements made by the CEOs of Cisco and Red Hat?
 

Furthermore, I received the following Twitter Tweets that appear to be specifically "Tweeted" to get my attention:
 

Cisco LOL Project Squared
 

Cisco Project Squared Not a Startup
 

Cisco Project Squared Hangout
 

Cisco Project Squared Borrowing a page
 

As most readers already know, I'm not exactly the brightest light bulb in the attic and I've got to admit that I have absolutely no idea what the above Twitter Tweets mean, do you?
